Need a Photoshopper or Artist

Sign in to disble this ad
Today I purchased an arctic white MIM jazz... which I have been wanting for some time now (the midnight wine jazz is my now backup!) and am looking for someone to photoshop me a pickguard so I can get a feel for a custom one being made! If you design me something really great, I can commission you to do a high quality render to send to a company as a template!

Ok so if you are interested, this is my idea. I am not sure if it can even look good, but I want to design a pickguard that incorporates the P-40 Warhawk nose art. Whaddaya think?

Here's the P-40 eating the neck pickup. Of course, at this angle it's staring at the ground while you play...not very intimidating.

Getting that picture to fit on a pick guard and look decent is pretty much impossible. With some cutting and pasting and simple paintwork I found this solution to look the best.

That actually looks pretty cool... I'm not stuck on that particular picture or anything, I just wanted to incorporate my favorite plane

i suppose ill take this moderately seriously. clearly the part where the picture tails off would be drawn better. not sure if you wanted the background.

So I sketched this out on my 24 hour shift last night, and I think it might work. Im going to try scanning it and trying to bold the lines nice and clean and fill in some color. I think it's pretty neat. Not the most aesthetically pleasing but it has personal meaning.

Which is the best company for printing custom pickguards with art?

To complete the theme, you should get a hold of the sticker on the prop for your headstock.
